Beloveds, do you not hear the bell ringing? Do you not see the signs all along the way? We, your angels, your guides, want you to see, want you to hear, want you to experience life to the fullest! This is the journey you are on now. This is the New Earth, the new life that has been given to your planet. It is no longer a time of sitting idly by and wondering who will take the lead – who will be there to guide us -who will be there to show us great things, to show us the way? You’ve been given a lantern so hold it high, hold it so that it shines brightly out along the path just as a lighthouse does for those out on the sea. You are now traversing the waters that are unfamiliar; thus, it is time for you to be the Wayshower. Do you hear the call? Do you hear that phone ringing, that spiritual phone that says “this call is for you, this call is for you.” You need to be the one to answer – not those who are outside of you, those who you are questioning why aren’t they answering the call – why are they not stepping up? No, Beloveds, it is up to each one to answer their own phone, to know when they look at the caller ID that it is for them – it is a familiar name that is coming through with a message for you. Do not let it go to your voicemail. Do not ignore the call but be sure that when you hear the ringing, you answer; because the time has come. It is now. And so it is.

What is kindness? This is a question I will be answering to be considered as part of an organization focused on bringing more kindness into our world. As I first looked at the question, my reaction was “well, duh, everybody knows what it is.” I then paused to really consider that response. Does everyone really know what kindness is? If that is truly the case, then are we just choosing who to be kind to and when to do so? If we understand that speaking warmly to others instead of being critical and judgmental is part of being kind, why is there so much bitterness and bullying? When faced with these questions, we become perfect blamethrowers. It was our upbringing (or lack thereof), peer pressure, just my personality, rejection, and on and on the list could go of potential reasons to not be kind to others. What is really the issue here and how do we get back to a place where values and integrity matter? How many children need to suffer and become scarred adults before we realize the magnitude of the problem and that it really has a very simple solution?

Holding a door for someone is a sign of respect and an act of kindness. Smiling at others, making eye contact and acknowledging them is also an act of kindness. I could list many small random acts that can be done in the course of a day. Yes, these will make a difference to the recipient as well as to the giver. It creates a glow inside and that is where the change must come from. We can’t sit around and wait for someone else to do it. Speak to your neighbor, call your parents (and/or your children), turn off your cellphones and have a dinner conversation. Let’s take our world back one kind act at a time. Let’s give the children of today something real to emulate. Mister Rogers had it right when he said, “There is something of yourself that you leave at every meeting with another person.” What are you leaving? #IChooseKindness

In “fantasy” some things work like magic, such as “open sesame” in which this phrase opens up a hidden treasure. Is this really so farfetched an idea? If you believe in the Law of Attraction among other laws of the universe, you understand the power of the human mind in conceiving, believing and receiving. Unfortunately, many do not understand the inner workings which is where the power lies. To achieve the seemingly magical results, the treasure has to be visualized in the mind and then felt in the heart as if it is already real. Ali Baba did not say “open sesame” and then break down the door! Too often we think we have to help the process along. We must perform some ritual or make a sacrifice for the magic to happen when in reality, we need to just “let it be.”

Today, ask yourself “what am I trying to control?” Are there things you desire but are limiting them because you feel a need to break down doors or use a lasso to pull them to you? In the fantasy story, Ali Baba did not count his treasure, he measured it. How do you “measure” your treasure? Everything is energy; thus, the more energy we have the “richer” we are. Draw the energy to you by simply understanding how it works – like attracts like. Take time to clear your energy field of any low vibrations such as negative thoughts, worry, anxiety, etc. Fill your mind with powerful words and phrases, I Am affirmations, and gratitude. Know in your mind and heart that you are worthy of everything good and wonderful that you can dream of. Bob Proctor teaches us that “if you can see it in your mind, you will hold it in your hand.” Take that extra step today by feeling it in your heart that is already yours. That is the magic ingredient. Now go about your day with an “open sesame” mindset and let the magic begin! I love you!

I received a channeled message from my guides regarding the full moon energies. I am sharing it with you here.

It is important to note that where your thoughts go, action will follow. We are not diminishing the fact that a physical event happens, that is the full moon, or that it has an effect on you. We are just asking that you draw upon what you have learned and our teachings to help you through the times of this high energy. The full moon, include the days immediately before and after, is a time of opportunity to increase your positivity and raise your vibration. The energy can either increase your positive energy or you can be drawn into a downward spiral of emotions and unrest. The full moon pours down a tremendous amount of energy and therefore you must be in a calm state of mind to receive a positive effect. It is a great time to meditate and focus on what is right in your life and your path this lifetime. Clear and align your chakra energy centers to prepare for the tide of energy coming to you. Stay in a state of gratitude. Remember that whatever is going on in your body, mind and spirit WILL be amplified. For instance, if you are angry, you will feel angrier or if you are happy, you will feel happier. During the full moon, the ocean swells and the power of the waves increase. Since your bodies are made up of mostly water, the moon is also affecting you just as it does the ocean with more waves of energy. This energy is very powerful so it is important to direct it with positive intention.

Many of you have learned to use the energy of the full moon for cleansing stones and energize your drinking water. The powerful lunar energy helps to remove all dense, stored up energies, washing the crystal and water cleaning and re-energizing it. It is a time of enhancing energies. Envision that the moon energy is doing the same for your body and your emotions. Release the old, let go of whatever is holding you back and not serving your highest purpose, then really trust that it is gone. Call on us to help in this regard. Archangel Michael is always willing to cut any ties to whatever may be holding you bound to past emotions and events and set you free from them.

So the choice is yours, dear ones. You can either be pulled into the ocean of energy and caught up in the riptide or you can draw on your strength, which is your inner fortitude bathed in positive love and light, and swim through the waves. You and only you can make the decision. Will you be a wayshower and shine your light out in a positive way or be drawn into the rumbling and grumbling of the current? Namaste

Peace, be still. Can’t you feel the storms raging? Last night the winds were so strong they moved the pool furniture around. I stood out by the water and felt myself being moved about and I thought how life is like that sometimes if we allow it. We can let the storms rage against us, tossing us one way or another or we can put our feet firmly on the ground, as I did last night, and say “peace, be still.” I know I make this point quite often about how we each choose how to live our lives and I will probably make it another million times before I die, but it is because it is so important to understand. Our minds are powerful – so powerful that if we use our imagination and tell ourselves we are in a very cold place and feel it deep inside of us, we will actually start shivering from being cold, even in the heat of summer. If we tell ourselves and truly believe that we are abundant, we will not only feel and act as if we are but we will manifest those things or people in our lives that will bring abundance to us. Top athletes use visualization methods to see themselves excelling at their sport. Executives use visualization to advance their leaders and themselves to achieve success. Inventors use visualization methods to give their brain the task of creating. This is nothing new. When we visualize ourselves as successful and abundant and healthy, our minds immediately go into creative mode to look for solutions that will match what we are imagining ourselves to be. Our job is to be still and believe. That’s it! We are such magnificent co-creators with the universe but so many are looking at the winds raging and waiting for a savior to say “Peace, be still.”

Right now stop whatever you are doing and go look in the mirror. Do it now, don’t wait. Say to yourself, “I am a truly abundant being.” Breathe. Again, “I am a truly abundant being.” Say it once more with confidence. Now, carry that thought with you the rest of the day. Marinate in it. Let it go to the deepest part of your soul. When the storms rage and the ego starts talking, simply say “Peace, be still.” I love you. Namaste

I’ve always been fascinated with dreams – you know, that phenomenon that happens when we close our eyes to “rest.” Sometimes I think it is God’s way of entertaining me so I just enjoy the movie but other times I wake up shaken and full of questions. Was it real? Did that really happen on another dimension and I just experienced it there? No one can really answer definitively what dreams are all about though many have tried to do so. Many of us search for answers when we have a disturbing dream or even an interesting or pleasant dream. We look up the analysis of what it could mean. There are those who never remember their dreams after awakening. From what I understand, we all dream as our brain doesn’t have an “off” switch so it just makes sense it would use that time to play and create. It usually happens during the deepest stages of sleep according to scientists. Even Freud voiced his opinion that dreams were a way for people to satisfy urges and desires. There are so many philosophies and interpretations about why we dream and what it means but I will stick with my own thought that God is entertaining me and my guides and angels are showing me messages and helping me to remember them.

Do you remember your dreams? If it is something you want to train your brain to do, you can set an intention before you go to sleep that you will remember when you wake up. You can keep a journal and pen by your bed to write down what you remember upon awakening. The more you do this, the more you will start to remember. Our minds are so powerful and when we ask a question the mind immediately goes to work to look for a solution.

Some say we are dreaming our lives as a collective dream. What are your thoughts on that? If you want your mind to be blown, check out this article about collective dreaming: http://www.spiritofmaat.com/archive/may3/schlitz.htm. I’m still processing what I am learning about it. I would love your comments. Happy dreaming! Namaste

It was a language I was not familiar with so the sound intrigued me. I listened intently for the inflections to indicate question, emotions, etc. and tuned in to what I imagined she might be saying. I know that on some deep level my subconscious understood this, knew what the message was. I so wanted to “get it” and respond but instead I stood there with a blank look on my face. I could feel her frustration at not being able to communicate. My thought was “I should be able to understand her since we are all connected through spirit.” Immediately with that realization, a thought crossed my mind and I knew it was what she was trying to relay to me in her beautiful language. I motioned toward a hallway and a huge smile appeared on her face. She was so grateful and she also knew that it was a soul level connection and not that I miraculously comprehended her foreign language. It was truly a beautiful moment.

In the Oneness of all that is, there is no need for words or interpretation. We just connect our energies and relay our messages. It is just that simple. Our human brains and ego want to complicate it, doubts kick in and the word “can’t” keeps rearing its ugly head. So seriously, learn to let go of the reins and use the mantra “I understand.” Learn to just free yourself to receive the messages when they come and not question them. Go with that first gut instinct and the first thing you hear. Easy peasy. I love you! Namaste
